Their collections, exhibitions and content make museums and galleries the cultural essence of any society, because they tap into the basic human tendency to understand and feel. When visitors enter the museum space, they not only bring with them a desire for new knowledge, but also seek dialogue and wish to complement their existing beliefs and ideas.
They want to feel accepted and belong, and the best way to get closer to these feelings is through various activities. They realise the importance and necessity of time that generates a creative process from excitement and anticipation to understanding and feeling. Creativity is not only learning about technologies and tools, it is also learning about your own potential, and that is a great pleasure!
By prior arrangement, the activities can also be adapted for the sensory and mobility impaired.

Master workshops
Shorter, multi-day and weekend workshops are organised occasionally with invited artists and experts. They are suitable for creative enthusiasts and for participants with prior knowledge.
Workshop of small prints and greeting cards
It can be a long journey from idea to product! But it is made shorter in this workshop, where participants create a set of original birthday or holiday cards– small screenprints. The workshop fosters a shared spirit of creativity and is suitable for small organised groups, families and intergenerational gatherings.
180 min, EUR 5
Spoon Prints
The programme includes workshops in flat collage printing, monotype printing, movable stencil printing, leaf printing, home screenprinting, etc. Although not demanding in terms of time and technique, the workshops produce excellent artistic results.

A special programme of Spoon Prints workshops is also held during the Summer in Tivoli festival.
